FAR Audits – Salt Lake (UT)

For many Salt Lake City and Utah architecture and engineering firms, government and state Department of Transportation (DOT) contracts are an essential source of revenue. Since these contracts require compliance with government regulations when bidding on and performing services, a Federal Acquisition (FAR) audit is required. The audits are essential for validating the contractor’s indirect costs are properly calculated, classified, and allocated. This helps contractors to maintain eligibility for contracts, avoid non-compliance penalties, and recover costs. Whether this is your first audit or part of ongoing compliance, it is important to work with a qualified provider.

FAR Audit Experience

Brady Ware provides AASHTO and FAR audit services to companies in Salt Lake City and Utah. We work closely with those subjected to AASHTO and FAR Part 31 regulations to ensure compliance with established regulations. Our team members are familiar with the nuances involved in both standards and undergo ongoing training to stay current with changing trends. This results in a comprehensive and value-added audit experience.


AASHTO/FAR Audit Services

  • State DOT Acceptance: Our audits are performed to the rigorous standards of Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS) and follow the specific guidance of the AASHTO Uniform Audit & Accounting Guide. This ensures your rate is recognized and accepted by all State Departments of Transportation.
  • FAR Part 31 Compliance: We provide a comprehensive review and audit of your Schedule of Indirect Costs based on the cost principles in Part 31 of the FAR. You receive the necessary Opinion Letter and certified report required to confidently submit your rate for billing.
  • Strategic Cost Segregation: We perform an in-depth analysis of your direct, indirect, and unallowable costs. We find opportunities to maximize your allowable costs (like fringe benefits and facility costs) to achieve a higher, yet fully justifiable, reimbursement rate.
  • Unallowable Cost Protection: Proactive identification and segregation of all unallowable expenses (e.g., entertainment, political contributions, federal taxes) to prevent audit findings. Management bears the sole responsibility for this crucial step.

City of Salt Lake City LogoSalt Lake City, Utah has evolved into one of the fastest-growing business hubs in the Mountain West, driven by a mix of technology innovation, financial services, healthcare, logistics, and outdoor-industry entrepreneurship. Often associated with the “Silicon Slopes” ecosystem along the Wasatch Front, the region has attracted venture capital, startups, and major corporate expansions thanks to its skilled workforce, relatively low operating costs compared to coastal markets, and strong population growth. Companies in software development, cybersecurity, SaaS platforms, and fintech have played a major role in reshaping the local economy, while established sectors such as banking, insurance, and professional services continue to anchor the city’s commercial core.

Healthcare and life sciences also contribute significantly to the business environment, supported by research institutions, regional medical systems, and a growing bioscience cluster. The presence of universities and a highly educated workforce has helped attract national employers, while a pro-business regulatory climate and infrastructure investment have encouraged expansion across manufacturing, distribution, and advanced logistics. Salt Lake City International Airport’s modernization has strengthened global connectivity, positioning the metro area as a strategic gateway for companies serving western U.S. markets.
